The senator springs from humble origin; is the son of a coun- try doctor and lived the life of a far- mer’s boy. attending the village school antil fourteen ye .rs of age, when he _en- tered the now non-existent Ohio Central College, from-which he graduated. He cut corn, painted barne, worked &s a road builder, was for some time a school teacher, anu turned to various other kinds- of employment under the stern necessity of earning the money to com- plete his education. He got his first sniff of printer’s ink while ‘‘sticking’’ type at odd times in the village printing office. Eventually he became an expert type setter, and later a linotype orera- tor. In 1884 ‘his father purchased for hin: the Marion, Ohio, '‘Star’’, then a small two-page weekly newspaper, and as the rvesult of years of endeavor and financial hardship he succeeded i mak- ing it one of the most influential and enterprising organs in the vicinity. It is his boast that he has ‘‘successfully held every position on the '‘Star’’, from printer’s devil .toc managing editor.”’ During his years in the Senate he has carried wi h uim an old printer’s rule that he once used in 'making-up’’ his newspaper iorms in the enrmposition- room. Most of us have read of his ac- tivities during the presidential campaign and his position on varigus important poli- tical issues. 1t may interest those of the *'gentler’’ sex to learn that the President elect endorses woman suffrage. ~ .OCAL.

London, Oct. 29th. —The' miners and the coal mine owners are about equally congratulated in the newspapers this . morning on the provisional setilement of the strike arrived at. There is a . general disposition -to ‘deprecate the | word ‘‘victory”’ by either side. It is | pointed out that while the men have got their cherishad two shiliings ad- ' vance, the Govt. has secured the prin- . ciple of increased production to coin- cide with the raise in wages. ‘leanwhile it is also regretfully pointed out, Europe " has loat 12.000,000 tons ofEnglish coal ' which is badly needed, the miners have . {ost millions in wages, and the Govt, has | lost a large slice ¢! the surplus coal pro- | fits. One expert is beold encugh to as- . sert that the arrangement ensures ten | years peace in the coal trade. The min- | ers have :till to vote on the proposals, ' whieh however are considered as emi- ' nently likely to recieve acceptance. The ' minsrs under the most favourable cir- . cumstances are not likely to start full . work till Monday of next week. . ; London, QOectober 29th.—The Govern- ment’s BEmergency Powers Bill passed the final Parliamentary stages today
